Knowingly engaging in a course of conduct or repeatedly committing acts toward another person, including following the person without proper authority, which places the person in reasonable fear of bodily injury

Does it happen often?

In Clearfield and Jefferson Counties, Crossroads serves over 1,200 victims each year. That is more than three victims per day just in our area. In Pennsylvania, over 100 murders are documented as domestic violence each year. Advocates, who have worked with victims prior to their deaths, claim twice as many domestic violence victim deaths are not counted due to liability, family concerns, or because they remain unsolved or are ruled as suspicious, accidental, suicide, or overdose.

Crossroads can help with:

Safety planning

Individual options and empowerment counseling for adult and child victims
